Is anybody planning on going to this? I just saw it on another board. I looks a lot like the Jeep Blessing I used to help run in Michigan.

I sure hope I can make it!  I would love to go to a jeep rally!

when is it? it's not loading for me.

** I should probably read the subject**

Ed and I are planning on attending. We have gone a few times before.

[calvynandhobbs]

We should set up a time for all of us to meet so we can park near each other.

I have the banner to set up too! If we don't go, I'll give it to someone to take up...

As I said in another post, I went a couple of years ago and had a great time. They had a mini-rock garden you could drive, an RTI ramp, raffles with awesome prizes, alot of vendors selling great stuff, and all the cool jeeps you ever wanted to look at. Assuming I am not working or coaching my sons football team, I am in.

**In fact, the last pic in the gallery of jeeps is my old rig (now Axle's)

We went a couple of times. We went once before we got our jeep and won a bunch of prizes. We went 2 years ago with our old jeep and Ed won some axle shafts. It was a good time. We are definitely in for it...

Looks like JD has a school function she needs to be at that day so it looks like I'll be taking the girls up to this thing  . Sounds like it will be fun!

Scott, let me know if your plans change and you can't go.  I'll swing by your place and grab the banner.

Stop by and grab the banner. No go for us, Rissa has a soccer game. Groton Youth Sports really F*cked the league for the next 8 weeks by scheduling games on Saturdays and Sundays. If I didn't pay for this stuff, I would have skipped it...

Yeah, I know!!!     My assistant coach is going to cover the 21st and the 27th for me so I can attend those events.

For those of us going, where and what time do we want to meet to convoy there?

[Axle]

Well, it's a little over an hour and a half.  I want to get there a little early so I can get a raffle ticket!  I would like to leave by 0700 at the latest.  That's LEAVE at 0700, not show up!     I can print out directions, but it would probably be easier to let you (Rodger) lead with your GPS.  I may have to go a little slow if my death wobble isn't completely fixed by then.  Hence me wanting to leave at O' Dark Butt Crack!

I have no problem with getting up early if it means that I get a chance at one of the raffles. I can plug it in to my GPS and lead the way. So is there a good place for us all to meet at 6:45 so that we can be on the road by 7am? We could meet at the Shell station across the main road from where you live.
